Nicole by Candice F. Ransom
3.0
Before there was James Cameron’s Titanic . . . there was Candice F. Ransom’s Nicole.
Spoiler alert: The boat sinks!
I never read any Sunfire books before this. I’d never even heard of Sunfire (I guess it was about ten years before my time) and I only came across this book because of Karen’s review of [b:Who Cares About Karen?|4015859|Who Cares About Karen?|Alison Lohans Pirot|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1338420137s/4015859.jpg|4062329], which made me wonder what books were out there with my name in the title. A few minutes with the Goodreads search engine and I had amassed a list of four books. This is the least erotic one I found and holy crap it’s also about the Titanic!!!! So I promptly ordered it off Amazon.
It’s not a great book. I’m not going to rate it based on littry merits because it doesn’t really have any. Even when I was twelve I probably wouldn’t have been crazy about this book because the whole “torn between two lovers” bit is resolved very early on and at no point in my life would I ever have thought, Well, they’ve had a two-minute conversation and they’re wildly in love, that sounds pretty logical! I liked Pierce better than Karl, purely because he seemed more interesting, but we Nicoles are a mysterious, flighty breed. Who can say why we make the choices we do?
Anyway, it gets three stars because it’s about the Titanic, it’s a cheesy ’80s teen romance, and my name is on the cover.
And yes, the description of the ship going down made me tear up. Don’t judge me.
